TO: Honorable Mayor, Members of City Council
FROM: Joe Caruso, Acting Code Administration Manager qi
RE: Lynn Kittelson Complaint -Side Yard Parking-6 Street and MLK
The new ordinance 2007 -31 which was effective on August 5, 2007 was pertaining to
Parking on Front Lawns and vehicles elevated above ground. The complaint was directed
at parking on a side yard, which was not included in the ordinance and does not give the
codes division the ability to enforce.
In the preliminary stages of the ordinance being written, the initial version contained
language for side yard parking. At the direction of council before the ordinance was
approved, legal was advised to remove the language for side yard parking from the
ordinance. At this time we do get complaints about vehicles parking on the side yards,
but we do not have the ability to address or enforce.
If council prefers to move in this direction, staff can come back to council with draft
language to include side yards to the ordinance in the form of an amendment.
